My surgery is Monday at 7:30am. I am getting a little anxious and just wish it would be over! I am ready to transform into a beautiful swan! I went to the doctor last Wednesday and of course they scare you to death with all the possible complications. I wanted a Big Mac & Super sized fries to calm my nerves. Instead I ate pickles (they are on my approved pre-op list). I got thru the hump and today spent the day shopping with my Mom (her 65th anniversary was today) who is 88 yrs old and gets around better than I do. One of my listed goals I have for myself, is to lose this weight so that I can get around better and be able to help my parents if they need me. I love them both and they have always been there for me. :)

This may be late in the discussion, but my favorite Protein Powder is Syntrax Nectar. They have a lemon tea one that mixes well with any sugar free lemonade or tea that is my new favorite. I do keep it in a double insulated thermos, because it's coor doesn't make me think tea but it mixes well. They have a great Cookies and cream and Peanut Butter cookie. They are reasonably priced and they have 100 calories, 23 grams of carbs, and 0 fat or carbs. Yummy!!

Vitamin Shoppe or mybariatricpantry

Vitamin shoppe has sample sizes and my bariatric pantry has sampler packs to order. I have only not liked one flavor I tried and it was calypso cooler or something. I mixed it with Water no additional and it was just too weak. Tasted like a pina colaada though so I bet it could be good a little stronger with skin milk and a touch of pineapple juice.

I think I mentioned 23 g Protein and 0 fat.

I really like making shakes and coming up with new combos

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
